Chapter 560

A Demon God cultivates hard for a thousand years, only to be not as strong as Sirin who had an epiphany overnight. This is also unfair, right?

Now that the path of cultivation, the boss of the mystical side, has come, taking care of its own cubs is also justifiable.

The previous civilization was also like this. The technological level of the previous civilization was almost flying out of the universe.

That a Herrscher born from this level of technology is stronger is also as it should be.

To put it more humanely, originally science was rampant in the Tree and Sea, and the Demon Gods of the mystical side were suppressed, so the Demon Gods could only bow their heads and admit it.

Now that cultivation has come, suppressing the scientific side, then the scientific side must also bow its head.

That Buddhism and Daoism are incompatible is a false proposition, but that the scientific side and the mystical side are incompatible is something even Jiang Yan acknowledges.

Himeko sighed again.

If you want to talk about scientific things, scientific concepts and laws, she knows a little bit.

But the realm of the mystical side...

That is truly something she knows nothing about.

"Elder Alice, do you know how to improve one's realm?"

"That's for sure. This is the focus of every lecture by the Sect Master."

Alice said softly:

"The Sect Master said that cultivators cultivate the Dao. Below Great Luo, every step is on the path of seeking the Dao."

"As long as you have more understanding of the Dao and walk your own path, you can continuously become stronger."

"For example, I walk the Buddhist path, Lisa and the others walk the demonic path, and Furina walks the Kingly path."

"Keqing is the Sword Dao, and Ningguang and the others are the Dao of spells."

"If you break it down further, there are more Daos. Everything in the world is the Dao. Therefore, cultivation is seeking the Dao."

"When a path reaches its end and one achieves the Dao with their body, they become Taiyi."

"And when one transcends the Dao, they surpass everything, forever obtaining freedom. Everything in the heavens and myriad worlds cannot constrain Him."

"At that time, it is Great Luo. But unfortunately, Great Luo beings are born as Great Luo. Until now, no one has ever cultivated to become Great Luo."

"Great God Nüwa, Great God Fuxi, Haotian Shangdi, the Three Pure Ancestors, the Three World-Honored Ones, Taiyi Venerable God..."

"These are all Great Luo born innately. They were born before the Dao."

"Forget it, talking about this is too far away for you. If you want to improve your realm, you must find the path you want to walk, and put effort into exploring it, never stopping for life."

Alice felt that she had explained it clearly enough. At least those with some ability in Teyvat could understand it.

But...

How could Himeko, a twenty-something young person born on the scientific side, understand these things?

Looking at her bitter expression, Alice also understood that it was really difficult for her.

Simply, she pointed out a clear path directly.

"Himeko, being overly ambitious is a great taboo for cultivators."

"Even on the scientific side, talent is paramount. Just like you are a genius, you yourself understand science more deeply than ordinary people."

"But above you, I'm afraid there are many more excellent scientists, right?"

"Cultivation is the same."

"Bai Zhu, whom you just saw, has a medium-grade dual spirit root. In Teyvat, he is also considered a genius."

"But Xiao has a top-grade spirit root, and I have a Heavenly Spirit Root that surpasses the top-grade spirit root."

"But I am not the limit either."

"Similar to me, there are Keqing's Sword Body, Shenhe's Su-Yin Body, etc."

"These are all top geniuses of Shushan."

"But above them, there are the three great divine bodies: Klee's Red Emperor Burning Heaven Body, Ying's Glazed Sword Heart, and Paimon's Star Body."

"They are born for cultivation. Becoming an immortal is just their starting point."

"And above them, there is the Sect Master. The Sect Master with the Innate Dao Body is the most likely to achieve Great Luo acquiredly."

After saying that, Alice paused and added:

"I just checked roughly, you do have the talent for cultivation, and your aptitude is not bad. This has already given you the opportunity to enter the door."

"The rest depends on your own efforts."

Hearing this, Himeko sighed in her heart, nodded, and said:

"I understand, Elder Alice, but I'm worried about my world... it can't wait too long over there."

"That is also a problem."

Alice scratched her cheek and added:

"But if you want to improve your realm quickly, it's not that there's no way."

Himeko immediately perked up and looked at Alice with anticipation.

"Do you know where the Sect Master and Zhongli went?"

Alice asked a question. Himeko thought for a while and said softly:

"The Demon-Locking Tower?"

"That's right."

Alice nodded and added:

"The Demon-Locking Tower is a forbidden area of Shushan, but it is also a treasure land for cultivation. One day outside is one year in the Demon-Locking Tower."

"Zhongli and the Sect Master went into it to seek an opportunity for a higher level."

Himeko's eyes lit up, and she calculated in her heart.

If it takes her three thousand years to break through to the mid-stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, converted to the Demon-Locking Tower...

It only takes less than ten years outside?

This time seems acceptable. The Honkai world shouldn't be unable to hold on for even ten years, right?

Plus, if she finds a way to master the Plague Gem, her starting point will be higher.

Perhaps, it only takes a thousand years or so in the Demon-Locking Tower.

Three years, even shorter!

However, before Himeko could say her thoughts, Alice shook her head and said:

"I know what you are thinking, but... don't think about it, it's impossible."

"Inside the Demon-Locking Tower is the Golden Immortal-level law of time. If you stay in it for a long time, your Dao heart will be eroded by the law of time."

"If the Dao heart collapses, the cultivator is completely finished."

"Therefore, the Sect Master only allows disciples to enter it for three days every month."

"Plus, the danger inside the Demon-Locking Tower is beyond your imagination."

Alice paused and said somewhat seriously:

"Inside the Demon-Locking Tower, existences at the level of Refining Essence into Qi are at the very bottom."

"The strongest demons in the Demon-Locking Tower are the Six Great Demon Emperors, at the peak of Void Refinement and Dao Integration."

"If any one of them comes out, the Tree and Sea universe will collapse in an instant."

"Those demons are all devils who poison the common people."

"The Sect Master is at the peak of Refining Spirit into Void, and even he has to be careful when entering it and cannot enter the highest level."

"For ordinary disciples, even the first floor might be dangerous. In the short term, none of us plan to go in."

"Don't think about taking a gamble and sneaking in. Sneaking into the Demon-Locking Tower will result in your cultivation being abolished and you being expelled from Shushan."

Now, the flame of hope in Himeko's heart was extinguished again.

For a moment, she doubted life. She always felt that Alice was deliberately giving her hope and then striking her down.

"Himeko, don't worry too much."

Alice also seemed to feel that she had gone too far, and said with a grin:

"It's just a Honkai. You have to know that our Shushan is the most protective of its own. A mere Honkai, even if Elder Neuvillette and the others take action, can be solved."

"At worst, you can beg them to take action then, and I can also help."

"Who told us to have an eye for each other?"

As she spoke, Alice looked at Himeko's fiery red hair with satisfaction.

This hair color was exactly the same as Alice's, and even their faces were somewhat similar.

It's also hard to say whether Alice was so good to her because she found Himeko's appearance to her taste.

"How can I trouble you, Elder Alice."
